Heading on a stag, hen or venturing on an away day? You probably encounter the following:

1. Your friends leave everything until last minute.

2. They rely on one person to pick what the entire group is doing and where you are going.

3. If a place is rubbish, your friends turn to you and never let you forget that woefully bad place you took them.
